In the letter, Loeffler said,"I adamantly oppose the Black Lives Matter political movement." She also asked Engelbert to put an American flag on all uniforms and apparel.
"The truth is, we need less — not more politics in sports. In a time when polarizing politics is as divisive as ever, sports has the power to be a unifying antidote," Loeffler wrote."And now more than ever, we should be united in our goal to remove politics from sports." Loeffler, who has co-owned the Atlanta Dream since 2011, also said she was not consulted about the league's new social justice policy."The WNBA is based on the principle of equal and fair treatment of all people and we, along with the teams and players, will continue to use our platforms to vigorously advocate for social justice," Engelbert said."Sen.
Tuesday how Loeffler is still a team owner."Bye Kelly," Stewart tweeted."Keep that negative energy out of our league."on Tuesday that there is no place for Loeffler in the league, which she noted is"80 percent African American." "I think we've had a number of people that have stepped forward and listened, and have taken initiative and taken action, and we've had those that haven't and continue to make comments and show why we're still in this situation," Parker said.
Don't give in! 👍
Please no more social distancing. These friends have it made !
TrueFactsStated I wonder if she purchased a team with stolen American taxpayer money?
TrueFactsStated Good racist witch with a capital B
EXSPOED
Get her out of there! She’s a political hack and does not care about the WNBA. In fact, I question why she “bought a team.” Does she like the feeling of owning black women? Get her the hell out of there.
Cancel Culture strikes again.............
Why would anyone want to own a WNBA team?
This lady stinks overall
Some, not all. Not every has to agree with the organisation of Black Lives Matters. The political Marist organisation that wants to end policing, capitalism has even started protesting outside churches. So no, they should not be honoured. Keep politics out of sport.
Well if the WNBA players don’t like it, they can leave the organization. Simple fix. Or is their paycheck more important?
👍
She's gotta go from WNBA and from the Senate. Oust her.
SenatorLoeffler MUST RESIGN. Loeffler and her spouse must relinquish their profits from the sale of those stocks and they must divest from the stocks they purchased after the briefing. LockHerUp LockHerUp LockHerUp LockHimUp LockHimUp
You will be made to care.
Why is she not in jail? We all know she insider traded a couple months back....
Kelly needs to be investigated for insider trading, as well.
Can own a team unless you belong to their hate group
Why should anyone honor a radical left wing, racialist movement?
another sleazy politician...
Bye, Felicia.
Isn’t she the one doing the insider trading also?
Here's a plan: Tell those ignorant players that people don't have to agree with their politics; tell them that people don't lose their livelihoods for disagreeing with someone's politics; tell them that if that is the case their boss could fire them. Guess who that is? WNBA
rolandsmartin WNBA thé league shouldn’t play as long as she’s a. Owner
rolandsmartin Make them pay double what shares
mb93 Of course liberal media is against anyone who has a different opinion. blm statement IS the reason the WNBA owners don't want to support them. I will never support a group who wants to destroy families.
Smart women .
Well it cant be because they killed a 7 year old little girl in Atlanta or opened fire on a 16 and 14 year old in CHAZ Seattle could it? Or couldnt be because founders brag about their Marxist training either could it? Or watching them turn cities into war zones maybe? 🙄
rolandsmartin Bye Karen SenatorLoeffler
Is she the same asshole who got away with selling millions of dollars in stocks after she received closed-door briefings about the threat posed by the new coronavirus before the market took a dive? Of course it is....real winner
Vote her out
To people who think they still have the ability to belittle people and make decisions about sports, businesses, and how the world works, just because they’re rich? Think again and please pay attention to what’s going on in America. We don’t necessarily need you anymore
BLM is a terrorist organizing that wants to bring Marxism into the US. The hell is wrong with you people. fuckblacklivesmatter
Seems like bullying to me.
The fact she is a thief and belongs in jail for insider trading along with her husband should not be ignored either. She is ethically and morally just not a good person.
🥱
Perfect example of white privilege..
rolandsmartin But not a word about antisemitism from black athletes
she puts the KKK in 'unt'.
MORE POWER TO LOEFFLER!!!!!!
How dare she have a different opinion. Doesn’t she know there is only one way? I’m 100 percent in favor of the movement and also 100 percent in favor of her having her opinion about it. Is that still allowed,or do we all just have to opine one way?
and its not going to stop there. this is just a power grab and they are mainly using ppl of color to achieve it. ppl who kill for power dont give you what you want or agreed to. they will keep blks at the bottom like they always have. justsaying
Yea I don’t like her opinion!! Get rid of her! This is the problems of anybody doesn’t like someone’s opinion they are against them.. and Parker should shut up anyway
Puritanism ftw
BLM org is a farce. However, Black, brown and any other person maters. Except pedos. Let’s kill those fuckers
WNBA is like a boys jr High lay up drill, with less fans.
Needs to go. No ifs or buts.
Are they crazy of course they don't matter to her WHAT COLOR IS SHE
She should be in jail for insider trading.
She needs to go!
BLM leader: Whites are subhuman 'genetic defects'
Cant honor something which has none. BLM
Black Lives Matter is not a movement, it's a political party; thanks to George Soros.
By saying that 'black lives matter' you're suggesting that it's conceivable that black lives may not matter as much as other lives. That's insane and virtually nobody believes that, spreading that idea is harmful. Every life matters, obviously.
Sports later, context now
CyberSoulSista1 Starting to try to make me racist against White people... Time to call all Whites RACIAL TERRORISTS & call any who aren’t racists “one of the Good ones”.
Didn't she also dump a ton of stock right before the market crashed in March? After being briefed on COVID-19 before the American people? She doesn't seem like a very good person
The BLM is a racist hate group.
MonicaRivpin She is behind in the poll so she is trying to buy some votes by being racist.
rolandsmartin Looks like the WNBA found its D. Sterling in Senator K. Loeffler. So much for ATL being Wakanda.

rolandsmartin Inside trader. Inside racist. Trumpit. We will no longer have people suffer from your back room agenda. As owner of a WNBA team you have a responsibility to your players, their fans and your nation to not leave any hint of racism on the floor.
rolandsmartin Congress needs blind trusts, now! RepDerekKilmer PattyMurray SenatorCantwell RepJayapal We should be able to trust our congresspeople are making decisions for the good of the country, not the good of their pocketbook. 🤬
If this woman attends a game, perhaps all the players will wear BLM uniforms
The truth is Black people are the main rasict in the world. They are ready to burn everyone who don't agree with them
I agree with Sen. Loeffler she has a great point.
deloreshandy Wow!
I heard that all 8 fans are pissed too!
She’s also wanted for insider trading - Dang! 🦅🇺🇸 SenatorLoeffler
KKK-elly has been outed as a racist! Insider trading just wasn’t enough for her was it
Kick her to the curve!
jasonrheffernan As a GA Resident, we are infuriated that AG Barr got involved in the appointed (not elected) SenatorLoeffler Insider Trading investigation, and like ‘magic’ it went away. Shocker. Not really.
Racism has no place in the WNBA )She should be in prison. SenatorLoeffler needs to go ResignKelly
You'll be woke when one of those haters shoots your child instead of some poor kid in the inner city. idiot's
Finally a public figure with actual courage BlackLivesMatter TRUMP2020
Of course they are because some people are wanting to silence her for speaking her opinion. Why? Because some of you are spineless and won't stand up for the flag because your scared of these groups that make you feel threatened. But guess what their not going to stop there.
Senator Loeffler is on target- BLM is Marxist and terrorist in their views - they are “cancel culture” and they are working to burn down our Nation-we applaud Loeffler and her freedom to reject an organization that hates the police and hates the nuclear family! God help us all!!
Black Lives are inclusive in the statement ALL LIVES MATTER obviously. BLACK LIVES MATTER statement is an an attempt at Separation and Tribalism because it is a pure attempt at over powering the other races. BLM is about Recognition & MIND CONTROL!!!
'No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.' -Elie Wiesel
Shall the Jews now call for ousting of Players who made Anti-Semitic Remarks? Trump Instigated His Divide & Conquer, Chaos & Anarchy Strategy; US is following him into the abyss!
The Mob continues to muzzle free speech.
Isn’t this the same excuse who made millions off insider trading once she learned how serious COVID was
Just wait until transgenders take over the WNBA. Now that the Supreme Court has upheld Title IX protections for non-biological females, teams and staffing positions will begin to see more transgender applicants and lawsuits if denied employment.
YES, SHE SHOULD RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!!!
Ms InsideInfo
She needs to be held up and cheered for!! Good for her to do the right thing and not be pressured and bullied to give into this cultural appeasement!! ALLLIVESMATTER I STAND FOR THE BLUE SYSTEMIC ANNIHILATION! PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES!! 🇺🇸❤️💙👮♂️🐾🇺🇸💙❤️
I would let them do a one off number real quick before a game...but nothing like a theme to try and take the place over or anything...that would be embarrassing.
The door!
Good for her!! Not everyone in this world has to agree with everybody!! I STAND WITH LOEFFLER!! 🙏🇺🇸💪💕💕
She was elected to represent the community not just the part that give her money, if she will not be there for all of the community, get rid of her and get someone who will work for the community not just the rich interest groups
She should be in prison for Insider Trading!
Bye Donna Sterling!!!
She should sell. The WNBA is worth crap anyway.
She just wants the blacks to dribble the ball & shut up🙄
If you are not with us, then you are against us. Well, you literally said you were not with us. The owners, coaches and players are with the BlackLivesMatter movement. Just not you. Time to go!
I hope she doesn’t cave to cancel culture, Blklivesmatter has no real message, it refuses to acknowledge black on black crime, more black children have been murdered by black men this year than people killed by police. When will black lives actually matter to Blklivesmatter
donwinslow
She claims BLM 'sends a message of exclusion.' To whom...White supremacists?
(Old) Barbie is all about the Benjamins
Two strikes & she must be ousted! Apr 14, 2020 - Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., sold $20 million in stock in the weeks building up to the coronavirus pandemic. Now the appointed senator is fighting for her political life come elections ..www.npr.org
Bye-bye WNBA
Oh FFS 🙄
The players can F off
And many people are calling for the shutdown of progressive propaganda organs like NBC News. Time to stop the yellow journalism!
Love how employees tell, employers how to act. Maybe one of them should buy the team. Oh that’s right, a failing league there no money there!
KKKelly must go!!!!
I have watched my last NBA game. I could care less what NBA thinks or believes.
how bad does she want to lose her senate seat? she is well on her way to losing it. I get why Gov appointed her...thinking that her $$$ deployed would sustain her... But she is an empty suit and no amount of $$$ can disguise it.
I want her out of the senate for insider trading before the coronavirus
BLM founder admits they are trained Marxists via YouTube
*Insider trading gal accused of bad judgement & lack of empathy*
Get 'er Cancel Culture! Go for her throat and rip out her lungs and feed on her like you love to do!
She should be in prison for insider trading
The DREAM FANS want her gone too !!!!!!
It looks like some racial diversity realignmen is badly needed for this team.
She shouldn't be forced to do ANYTHING IS THIS STILL AMERICA? GUESS NOT!?! THERES 1 SIDE AND THAT'S IT HUH
Yep it fits
Why on Earth would a person who doesn’t support BLM own a WNBA team? Sadly, I know the answer. This is a repugnant stance to take as you co-own a team in a league with primarily black players. Beyond disrespectful! This country needs to wake up!
Ditch the players and get new ones.
BLM movement is Marxist and should be called out as such.
Sad how much these players believe they have over their employers
Let's oust the insider trading Senator fro public office too.
Racist just like realDonaldTrump TrumpIsARacist
Woke pressure. Stand firm senator.
Oh, but not because she made illegal trades based on inside info?
WNBA turns a profit?! How? Average number of fans at a game is 8,000 & tickets are never ever over $150 & the average is $25. You can get an entire suite for $100-$200.
News Flash Not everyone holds your opinion. It's okay.
As they should
Pass it on: GOP will take away your healthcare. GOP is going to defund schools. GOP wants you dead.
I say let’s her get out of the WNBA and Congress! She’s earned both removals
So now if we dont force people to believe the same as us they get ousted? thisisnotAmerica
What do they have to say about Coonman Northam? You can't pick your battles based on party. Balls and strikes folks.
They are Marxist so you support who you want and allow her to withhold her support from any groups that doesn’t speak for her! this is still America right - or no?
Oh no! A person with an opinion! How dangerous
👏👏👏👏👏
Sen. Loeffler objected to honoring an organization that she doesn't feel should be honored? In America are we free to choose who we decide to honor?
ConfederateBarbie
Racist shouldn’t won a basketball team
Are you not allowed to have a different opinion anymore?
